Our Verdict
A high-mileage example of a reliable hyb
Given the 167,276 miles on the clock, the primary focus should be on the hybrid battery's health and the overall service history of the 1.8L engine. Check for evidence of regular oil changes and hybrid system checks, as high-mileage vehicles require strict adherence to maintenance schedules to avoid costly repairs.
Negotiate the price based on the fact that this vehicle has covered approximately 32,000 miles more than the average Prius of the same age. Ensure that any recent work, such as the brake pad replacement implied by the June 2026 MOT entries, is backed up by an invoice.
As a hybrid electric vehicle, this Prius offers competitive fuel economy and typically falls into a lower vehicle excise duty (VED) bracket. Insurance costs are generally moderate for this model, though the high mileage may influence some provider premiums.
Maintenance costs are likely to rise as the vehicle ages, particularly regarding suspension and drivetrain components. Based on typical hybrid running costs and the age of this vehicle, the estimated annual expenditure is moderate.
Inspect the braking system; while the MOT on 2026-06-15 noted thin brake pads, the subsequent test on 2026-06-29 recorded no defects, suggesting they were replaced. Verify this with the seller. Check the tyres for uneven wear, referencing the 2024 advisory regarding a nail and worn edges on the rear tyres.
Pay close attention to the suspension and steering. Aggregate data for this model highlights the anti-roll bar and drive shaft joints as common failure points. Listen for knocks or clunks during a test drive, especially when turning or driving over uneven surfaces.
This red 2016 Toyota Prius has covered 167,276 miles, placing it well above the average distance for its age. The MOT history shows a series of passes since 2024, with only minor advisories regarding tyres and brake pads. It presents as a high-use vehicle that has remained roadworthy through its recent inspections.
The Prius has a strong reliability reputation, supported by an average MOT pass rate of 83.9% across nearly 140,000 analysed vehicles.
